How to Sync Structured Across Your Devices
If you use Structured on several devices, such as your phone, tablet, computer, or Apple Watch, you can sync your schedule to always stay on track. The best thing about the sync is, that it is completely free and doesn't require Structured Pro.
Currently, there are two options to sync your devices: iCloud sync (Apple devices only) and Structured Cloud sync (Apple devices and Web version).
In this article, you will find instructions about:
Syncing devices is not available for Structured on Android yet, but coming soon. ๐ค
1. iCloud Sync
1.2 General Information
For Apple devices, you can use Apple's iCloud to sync your tasks across your Apple devices. The iCloud sync is set as the default sync in your Structured app.
To set up the iCloud Sync, you first have to check your iCloud Sync Status. If the iCloud sync is not enabled automatically, you have to enable the iCloud Sync for Structured. Following, these steps are described in more detail.
1.2 Check iCloud Sync Status
Usually, iCloud Sync is already set up on your device and your Structured data is syncing automatically. To check the sync status, open your โ๏ธ Structured Settings and tap the iCloud Sync in the General section.
The iCloud Sync Status should say Syncingโฆ or Fully synced. If it instead states iCloud not enabled or Not logged into iCloud, you might have deactivated iCloud Drive or denied Structured accessing your iCloud. Check out the section below to address this.
1.3 Enable iCloud Sync For Structured
Open your general โ๏ธ Settings App, tap your Apple Account and navigate to the iCloud. On your iCloud page, select Drive.
Ensure that Sync this iPhone is activated and that you have a sufficient amount of free storage on your iCloud Drive.
Furthermore, you have to allow Structured to use iCloud. To do so, tap on Apps Syncing to iCloud Drive and toggle the button for Structured.

2.4 Log In on Apple Watch
If you enabled Structured Cloud on your iPhone, your Apple Watch will recognize it automatically. However, you still have to log in to Structured Cloud on your Apple Watch as well.

If you are using Structured Web, you can store your data and sync your data with Apple devices using Structured Cloud. Follow these steps to log in to Structured Web:
You can access Structured Web on almost any browser by clicking this link: Structured Web beta.

3.2. Other Sync Limitations
Please note that you can only use either Structured Cloud or iCloud sync - it is not possible to mix up both.
